Failing to load IPTV channels

[Benny L]

Thanks Martin. I read you loud and clear but I prefer not to share the log file publicly if I can help it....

Anyway, I logged the user agent in a python web server

The following is what I logged when I use the m3u import function using this url "http://localhost:1180/test|User-Agent=test"

X:\temp\tempweb>python server.py
Serving HTTP on port 1180 (http://localhost:1180)
Press Ctrl+C to stop
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Jun/2026 18:04:09] code 404, message File not found
User-Agent: -
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Jun/2026 18:04:09] "GET /test HTTP/1.1" 404 -
User-Agent: -


The following is what I get if I use the same url in Chrome:


127.0.0.1 - - [21/Jun/2026 18:04:26] code 404, message File not found
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/149.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Jun/2026 18:04:26] "GET /test%7CUser-Agent=test HTTP/1.1" 404 -
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/149.0.0.0 Safari/537.36


So, maybe my IPTV host doesn't like it when user-agent is missing, and also, I can't override the User-Agent parameter using the pipe (|)

Sorry its possible, the previous discussion was about xc login. I think m3u downloading force a known user agent

It isn't worth further time without logs.
